MUMBAI: The world of comedy had once again found itself at the heart of controversy, following the uproar over Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks on Samay Raina’s show almost two months ago. What began as playful banter quickly escalated into a heated debate, sparking a storm of reactions across social media.
As the clip went viral, public opinion became sharply divided. While some defended the YouTubers’ right to free speech, others condemned the comments as inappropriate and offensive.
This incident has reignited the long-standing debate on whether India is truly prepared for dark humour or if certain boundaries should remain uncrossed in the name of comedy.

Critics argue that India's cultural sensitivities set it apart from Western nations, where dark humour is often embraced as a form of expression.
The backlash also saw Ranveer facing multiple FIRs and police interrogations, but despite the turbulence, he has emerged resilient.
Breaking his silence in a heartfelt video shared on social media, Ranveer expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and love he received during this challenging period. “Your positive messages have been a pillar of strength for me and my family. The past few weeks were incredibly tough, with open threats, relentless online hatred, and a flood of media scrutiny. Yet, your kind words and encouragement helped us pull through,” he shared.
Reflecting on the incident, he acknowledged the importance of responsible content creation. “For a decade, I have been consistently creating content, releasing two to three videos every week without pause. This forced break gave me time to introspect. I now realise how many people, especially young audiences, see me as family, and for that, I sincerely apologise,” he admitted.
Reaffirming his commitment to accountability, Ranveer assured his followers that he would move forward with a renewed sense of responsibility. “Many children watch our show, and I now fully grasp the weight of this responsibility. From now on, I will be more mindful of the impact my content has.”
Despite the controversy, his team stood by him, with none resigning during the storm. He expressed deep appreciation for their loyalty, saying, “I have a duty not just to my audience but also to the 300 people who work with me and their families. To those who stood by me, I have just one humble request—please give me another chance. Allow me to earn back my place in your hearts.”
Closing on a positive note, Ranveer announced the return of his podcast, ‘The Ranveer Show.’ “Now, I will let my work speak for itself. Thank you all. From this point on, you will witness a new Ranveer. The podcast will be back very soon,” he concluded.
With this announcement, his fans are undoubtedly eager to see him back in action, ready to embrace the next chapter of his journey.
